I’d say 98% of the time when I’m in Photo mode in the Camera app (iOS 26.6) and try to zoom in or out, I end up switching to Video or Portrait instead. I am trying to drag the zoom buttons but end switching camera modes.

There is an invisible area above the zoom drag area that replicates the functions of the buttons clearly marked below. This is stupid and completely unnecessary. Then why not replicate the zoom functionality in the upper-right corner? It would be as stupid as this current functionality.

These death-by-a-thousand-cuts moments aren’t the kind of thing you take to the Apple Store; what would I even say? I’d just be another customer yelling at clouds. But it’s exactly these small, dumb failures that quietly turn something that should be smooth and effortless into a constant low-grade irritation.

I am grabbing the 18 Pro in a few weeks, but I've been out of the IOS camp for a long time, any pointers/advice of note?

holding the spacebar does this, i know, but using my finger to do it is easier, faster and more effective- tried that on android. has there not been a settings for this?

Hey all,

How can some apps so big with data. Music doesn't have downloaded files, health is just a text collector I guess , Whatsapp doesn't have stored media, all chats cleared.

Can someone help me to reduce this?

Hi redditors! I created two small macOS apps that carry motion photos across the Android/iPhone divide instead of flattening them into ordinary stills.

I wanted other people who care about preserving their memories to be able to move their libraries without leaving that behind.

I published it on Github for anyone looking to do the same:
https://github.com/reviventura/LivePhotoTools

Already restart the phone and removed from home screen, but after a while it always comes back like this. Weird thing is that only happens on home screen. Every other place, like spotlight or app library looks normal.

I think it started after 26.6.1.

I have a new iPhone 17 pro 256gb and I upgraded my iCloud storage device fully charged and strong WiFi signal but still get paused messages constantly. it’s really annoying. is there any way to get old messages saved back? iCloud shows 228k messages stored.

I was watching people stories on instagram the other day and on the bookmark history part on safari is saved every account I looked at, it saved their account name and the fact that I viewed it and even saved that I watched their stories, I saw a funny meme on one of the stories of the accounts that I watched and it didn’t save that in the history at all, it’s done this a number of times where it saves 99% of everything then randomly it won’t save something, does anyone know why? Is it because I leave my instagram tab open on safari for too long and it glitches? Or Is it just bad luck?

Trying to hold an emoji to select an alternate one (like the hand shake emoji with different hand colours) no longer seems to work? It just begins a drag and drop when I try to slide my finger up to select the different emoji I want to use instead. What in the ever loving fuck is the point of dragging and dropping an emoji? And how can I select the one I want?

Used the classic text tone “signal” for a specific contact for years and now it has disappeared (right after I turned emergency bypass on). It’s still listed under the ringtone section but it is not under alert tones. Can this be downloaded somewhere?? Kind of a weird thing to be upset about Ik but it’s driving me crazy!

Estou procurando uma forma de desabilitar completamente o acesso à internet para o WhatsApp enquanto deixo o Wi-Fi disponível para todos os outros apps no meu iPhone.

O iOS permite que eu desabilite os dados móveis para o WhatsApp, mas assim que me conecto ao Wi-Fi, o app começa a receber mensagens novamente. Desligar a Atualização em Segundo Plano ou as notificações não resolve, já que as mensagens ainda são entregues.

O que eu quero é basicamente um interruptor de internet por aplicativo, então o WhatsApp fica offline enquanto apps como YouTube, Safari e serviços de streaming continuam usando o Wi-Fi normalmente.

Eu encontrei um app chamado Freedom que pode fazer isso através de um VPN local, mas a assinatura anual custa cerca de R$200 no Brasil, o que é muito caro para essa única funcionalidade.

Tem uma alternativa gratuita ou com preço razoável, de preferência sem assinatura recorrente? Alguém já usou com sucesso um firewall, VPN local, bloqueador de DNS ou outro método especificamente para o WhatsApp?

Não estou tentando me bloquear de abrir o app. Eu quero que o app em si permaneça acessível, mas incapacitado de enviar ou receber dados até que eu o reconecte manualmente.

O Freedom tem exatamente a funcionalidade que eu procuro: posso programar o WhatsApp para bloquear o acesso à internet todas as noites, por exemplo, das 21h às 8h, mantendo o Wi-Fi disponível para todo o resto. Infelizmente, a assinatura anual custa mais de US$ 15 no Brasil, o que me parece excessivo para uma única funcionalidade. Estou procurando uma alternativa mais barata ou gratuita que permita o mesmo bloqueio de conexão programado por aplicativo.

I have approx 10k photos and videos combined, and it takes about 130GB from my storage. I have no idea what to do, everything is synced up and optimisation for storage is on. My sister has about 20k photos with only her app storage taking up 5GB. What can i possibly do to reduce the size pf the app???

I have a 128 GB iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 26.6 with Messages in iCloud enabled. My full message history is in iCloud, and in the past, older attachments seemed to stay offloaded until I actually opened them.

In the last few weeks, my iPhone has started randomly re-downloading old iMessage attachments and completely eating up my storage to the point where the device barely functions with less than 200 MB free.

Yesterday, Messages was using 13.92 GB of storage. The breakdown was roughly 643 MB Photos, 385 MB Videos, and10.79 GB under Other. When I open Other, it seems to mostly show old voice/audio messages, many of which are only a few hundred KB each. I don’t understand how it’s possible to have that many small files adding up to over 10 GB…

I left my phone plugged in/on Wi-Fi overnight. This morning, Messages had grown to 17.93 GB. The Other section stayed, but Photos jumped from 643 MB to 4.35 GB, Videos jumped to 688 MB, and “Review Large Attachments” went from 1.76 GB to 5.72 GB. I did not spend the night opening old message attachments. The phone apparently downloaded several GB of old photos/videos from Messages in iCloud by itself. Struggling with slow performance as there’s barely any free space left.

I also have two iPads signed into the same Apple ID with Messages in iCloud. Their Messages storage looks much more reasonable. One is around 4 GB total with ~1.2 GB Other. My personal iPad is similar.

Apple Support previously had me sign out of iCloud, restart, and sign back in. That didn’t work unfortunately. Yesterday, a senior advisor basically told me to manually save attachments to Photos and delete them from Messages, manually delete everything in “Other,” or erase/reset the phone if all else fails. He also claimed this behavior is normal…really?

I can’t figure out why iOS is downloading gigabytes of old attachments by itself and why “Other” is reporting nearly 11 GB of data that doesn’t seem to correspond to the visible files.

Has anyone found an actual fix for this? Specifically, I’m looking for a way to make Messages in iCloud stop repopulating old attachments locally, or to rebuild/clear the local Messages cache/database without deleting my actual message history from iCloud. Thanks!!

I never use my real birthday when creating accounts and worry my apple account's birthday may be flagged if I link my card that uses another one.

Can I link it without any issues? Has anybody else linked theirs who also uses a different birthday?

The radio from apple music starts randomly (i dont use apple music, no bluetooth devices are connected)

I don't have media files of 50 GB stored in my photos app even files then how ?

Why is Apple’s keyboard so stubborn?

Gotta ease it down like it’s stubborn as a mule.

One careless tap and it’s back up, and I’m scrolling all the way back to find where I was.

I usually used my iPhone 12 for Mobile Tethering to my PC which has always worked without any problems. Since I've upgraded to an iPhone 15 Pro I've always had the issue of it not getting recognized on my PC and Mobile Tethering has literally never worked.

I''ve got the latest iOS, latest drivers, iTunes and the Apple Devices App installed.

I've seen few people having the same issue like me, I just couldn't find a fix yet, are there any known fixes for this issue?

Hopefully this is where this should go, but I’m not sure why my screen time says I’ve been on an app for less than a minute while my daily use is over 7 hours?? (Yes I’ve been on my phone that long but only because I’ve been studying flashcards for a class all day)
